Mhe 4" ss block head

[MheAntRaiK]

Looks like a good start.
What have you done to the copper?
Is that a washer soldered on top, what for?

He's making 4 bore cartridges of course. :handgestures-thumbupleft: :))

They are washers soldered on scythe , they are going to be my risers and downcomers once I get my bubble caps sorted I will flange the ends and use a nut and bolt to fix em in place

Looking good, that's some nice work :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Yes a breather will overcome the surging problem.

I've got quite a few of those big nut fittings but haven't used them because I haven't been able to find alc safe seals. Do you have a place you get them from?

woodduck

by big nut fittings? u mean the bsm nut on the bottom of my parrot? what do you meany by alc safe?

[woodduck]

Yer the one on the bottom of your parrot. I've looked at a couple of places around here and can't find silicon or epdm seals. The ones I've got react to alcohol.
